The Johnson & Wales University men's soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision against intra-state rival Salve Regina in a non-conference contest on the road on Thursday evening. 

Salve Regina jumped out to the early lead when Trevor Audet headed in a corner kick from Sean MacAllister just 9:01 into the contest.  The host Seahawks took the 1-0 lead into halftime.

The two teams battled throughout the second half before Salve Regina added an insurance goal at the 88:30 mark, from MacAllister en route to the 2-0 victory.

Senior Joe Ferraro (Freehold, N.J.) had seven saves in goal for the Wildcats while Matthew Sweeney and Devin O'Gorman combined for the shut out in goal for Salve Regina.

With the loss Johnson & Wales is now 2-10-1 while Salve Regina improves to 10-3-1 for the year. The Wildcats will return to action on Saturday, October 16th when they host Emerson in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference contest at 1:00 p.m.
